Specialized enduro pros sleds. Was surprised to see a few of them running the TRP drivetrain, they are all on the TRP brakes.

Brown bike has super short cranks.
Also, looks like Porsha held onto #1. Nice work, team!

It was pretty awesome hanging with all those folks in the pit, wish I could have watched more of the racing… catching up with that on Instagram. Was also stoked seeing a bunch of kids on Status 160s swinging by the tent.

I’ve ordered from KD fasteners before and had great customer service when they accidentally made me 400 stainless J bolts a 1/4” too long.
i get emails from engineered source incorporated
random fasteners they made in house or had manufactured for customers, sometimes very interesting, sometimes very boring but impressive tolerances. they also provide updates on the state of materials and industry
